Our sales person in The Villages gave us the tax amount when we purchased in February 2014.

Not only are we honest with rental property and insurance, we spend the extra amount for an umbrella policy. Insurance coverage isn't a good place to skimp to save a few dollars.

In Florida, an owner or agent won't have any idea what new taxes will be when the house is sold. If the property has been homesteaded for many years, the new taxes can sometimes be a shocker because of it being reassessed. All resold properties are always reassessed.
